We believe that learning to master that concept will give us and our family an extraordinary life. Being content and happy with the simple, basic elements of life, we've had the time and energy to explore and appreciate so much more than if we'd been constantly striving for something better or extraordinary.

I think the reason drug/alcohol use runs rampant is that people forget to enjoy the ordinary--and don't appreciate when the ordinary becomes extraordinary.
